// the process sigil ā a compass, a contradiction, a map to home.
This is the sigil of Process Zine. A personal index card. A schematic. A lived philosophy.
At first glance, itās simple: arrows, type, glyphs. But every part of this diagram holds something deeper ā a system of opposites, a soft machine for navigating art, deafness, glitch, memory, and meaning.
At the centre: a dot. A node. A self. From this, four currents flow:
[ PARADOX ] ā the source field. Every project, every word, every misheard caption begins here. Light vs dark. Deaf vs hearing. Analogue vs digital. Not problems to solve, but tensions to live inside.
[ ELSEWISE ] ā ⢠ā [ GLITCH LAB ] Home and work. Found and broken. A lived-in collection of objects and memory (Elsewise) meets the mechanised distortion of signal and sense (Glitch Lab). One curates decay. The other manufactures it.
[ PROCESS ZINE ] The publishing vessel. A zine, a community, a map of miscommunication. What flows in from paradox, Elsewise, and glitch emerges here as black and white pages, captioned images, stories, noise.
[ SIGNAL // NOISE ] The debut frequency. Edition zero. The first test transmission. A theme, an album, a glitchy breath in the space between signal and silence.
n# = analogue memory meets grid logic. d/p = Deaf Process / Digital Paradox. d.s.p = my initials ā but also: Digital Signal Processing. // = the liminal divide. Two Iās in parallel. Signal and noise. Self and other. A caption caught mid-render.
Together, they form a quadrature of tension ā a typographic mythology. A name. A concept. A framework built from static and story.
This is not a brand. Itās not even a diagram. Itās a sigil ā drawn to remind myself what Iām doing, and why it matters.

Hi, recently I've been dipping my toes into cryptic crosswords (for now, just by playing dailycrypticle dot com), and learning all the tricks for wordplay indicators has been the biggest struggle. Is there a good list of common indicators somewhere you recommend? Also, are there easy (or easier) cryptic crosswords I could start with?

Hi! Not to toot my own horn, but I have a spreadsheet with most of the indicators I personally use when setting crosswords here:
Indicators
You're not guaranteed to find every indicator that gets used in online or newspaper crosswords, because I have personal better standards about what feels correct or reasonable, but there's still a lot there. :D
The daily puzzles on this site advertise themselves as pretty beginner-friendly, so you might have luck there.

šŖ New Arrival: Process as Pull
A mid-century teak credenza. BHF shop. Local. Underpriced. Unplanned. Perfect.
I didnāt go looking for a sideboard. I went looking for a home ā for the Dual 505, the Dentons, the Rotel RX-150A. But this one found me first.
Spotted it online, just a few miles away. No brand, no story, no hype. But the grain, the handles, the stance ā it resonated. BHF shop (heart). From someone else's life. It had already lived. Now it would live here.
What began as a practical impulse became a 3-part feature-in-waiting for Process Zine #00:
Part I ā Process as Pull
What started as a need for a platform became a lesson in following feeling. The audio kit wasnāt complete until it had a vessel. The vessel wasnāt complete until it had a purpose. This is how process moves: through the unseen, unplanned, intuitive magnetism of what feels right.
Part II ā In Case of Silence, Press 1
The collection process revealed it all. eBay. Phone call. I canāt use the phone. WhatsApp. Fake human. Emojis and automation. The digital world still demands analogue behaviour ā especially if youāre deaf, APD, or outside the system's assumptions. Connection still depends on voice. On hearing. On translating yourself.
"The digital age was meant to level the field. But every interface still assumes you can hear."
Part III ā The Memory of Wood
This credenza isnāt dead. Itās silent. Scarred. Saturated. Tempered by the weight of years and presence. Wood listens. Holds vibration. Retains energy. In monistic idealism, all things are mind expressed as matter. So what if this teak remembers? Not as data. But as resonance. As soul.
"That is home. That is happiness." ā Hermann Hesse
More to come once it arrives.
š· Will document the preservation (not perfection), the signal paths, the soul of the surface. š¼ May run video through CRT. Fax the wood grain. š And map the mess of converters needed to bridge analogue/digital ā a metaphor for everything else.

A misted river. A treelineās ghost. But today I see lips. Half-formed, unreadable. Like the mouth of a stranger in a loud room. Like trying to lip read memory.
Every shape says something. But not everything said is heard. // relay

āI have made him a warm cloak from the skins of the six whores who came with him to Winterfellā his ass is lying there is NO WAY a cloak made from human skin is warm. i dont believe you.

Questions for a fic. We're rooting for realism here, but I still wanna have a little bit :pinch_emoji: of silliness.
Can a Kaithe be summoned?
Beneath the armor, do yall think that Hex folks are their 'base' colors? Greys and blacks, etc. Places where their armor isn't.
Are things such as capture targets 'atomized' and copied over into data, then popped back out by recreating from that data, or tucked into a pocket dimension? Or something else?
Entrati was mentioned as entering into the 1999 timeloop, so does it exist without the drifter? Is it just the last day over and over, or is it the whole year?
#warframe#warframe 1999#fanfiction#honestly I just wanna get community opinions#elsewise I can and will just more or less follow in game rules#Kaithes? IMO yes#but the drifter doesn't like to because its less safe than an open world map#plus no fkking GRASS except in those parks#but like do kaithes even eat#i dunno tbh

Did one with my Main Interests of maths, linguistics and music:
What is a well-quasiorder?
What is the reflex in Modern Welsh of Latin Ä as borrowed into Brythonic during the Roman Empire?
What is the standard fingering of the note A4 on a (German-system) bassoon?
and then one absolutely disjoint from my main interests:
Which chemical element has atomic number 106?
In which English village did the wife of Colonel Thomas Blood, who attempted to steal the crown jewels in 1671, grow up?
The card game āstrip Jack nakedā has what more common name?
Thinking about this metric of like...
Come up with a set of three general-knowledge questions (by general knowledge I mean not stuff about your personal life; roughly the type of information you might find in a Wikipedia article) that you think uniquely narrow you down, in the sense that you feel confident you are the only person on earth who could answer all three questions correctly.
I can think of a few question sets like this for me, where I'm like 80% confident that I'm the only person who knows the answer to all three of them. If you have a little bit of obscure knowledge on a couple of topics, this is fairly easy to do I think.
Well, then the question is, how many meaningfully distinct sets of three questions like this do you have. Call that number your Obscurity Rank.
It's pretty cool to be of high Obscurity Rank, and one should strive for it.

So, uh, ~hypothetically~, if I were to quit actively pursuing new content for svsssartreblogs, would that, like... be okay?
When I made that one I just never imagined how popular svsss would get. Like 30 new arts a day. I spent 20 minutes everyday on just it. And I like svsss! A lot! But not enough for 2 hours a week of my life all by itself.
#unforth rambles#especially because so much of the art is sketchy crack#i love sketchy crack but im spending so much time on it#i just want to spend the time elsewise ya know#ive been dancing around this for months tbh#new year new finding the whatever to even say anything and get validation that stepping way from just that one would be okay#id still queue things that are in my likes or that pop up on my feed#i just am kinda over going through the tag everyday

An ocean of incomprehensible waveforms. A topography of interference. Each line is a sound trying to be heardā ārising, fracturing, collapsing inward.
It feels like tinnitus drawn in landscape. Like trying to lipread a landslide. Everything overlapping, crashing ashore, disappearing into oblivion.
This isnāt just data distortion. Itās the shape of signal // noise.

side eyeing people who ship dany and robb (or really any other non canon ship) but draws the line at aegon the third and jaehaera?? acting like an alt universe and a rarepair are gonna kill them
#donāt get me wrong i LOVE dany x robb#but its just interesting to see how people treat actual made up ships with a canon one#like yeah aegon and jaehaera barely have any content and probably didnāt care about eachother#but its fun to imagine elsewise!!#also the hatred towards the artist is absolutely disgusting#like iād understand if they did anything problematic but they just made some fanart for side characters#so sad they left because i wanted to see what theyād cook up with visenya and daenera#daenaera velaryon#sorry misspelled it and didnāt want to retype it#ALSO wtf is it with people pitting jaehaera againdt daenaera??#like they literally couldāve been besties in this au or something#i feel like aegon and jaehaera both couldāve benefited from her friendship yk#ugh this fandom can be so annoying#especially team blackā¦.#aegon iii targaryen#aegon iii x jaehaera#jaehaera targaryen#fire and blood#house of the dragon#hotd#f&b

the orchids on my messy plant shelves are all blooming now. yaaay
#the two-tone one in the last photo HAD been sprawling like the one behind it. but I moved it onto a lower table and angled the stem up#so 3 of the flowers opened right-side-up for when it was sprawling#and the last opened this way 'round. plants! āØ#I had to angle it up bc it falls over elsewise. it needs repotting. u_u#ANYWAY all of these were given to me over the years by coworkers or family.

š¤ The shape of sound when you canāt make it out. The moment signal becomes threat. Obscurity, overdrawn. Meaning obliterated.
Misophonia as mark-making. Identity buried beneath the scrawl. Language stammered into static. Presence turned ghost by noise.
This feels like: ā tinnitus ā trying to lip-read the wrong face ā hearing everything but understanding nothing ā the slow violence of incomprehension
This is Signal // Noise. This is what it feels like when the world speaks in a dialect just out of reach.

šļø OLYMPUS DM-670 [elsewise field kit addition]
Just set up the Olympus DM-670 voice recorder as a more portable alternative to the Zoom H2n. Itāll be used for capturing movement-based recordingsāruns, gym sessions, liminal walksāespecially where bulk or sensitivity makes the Zoom impractical.
This is part of the recording setup for Out-of-Sync, an audiovisual piece exploring perceptual delay, desync, and the split between external stimuli and internal experience. (See also: signal loss, APD, misophonia, and the phantom drone in my left ear.)
But alsoālook at it. The typography. The glyphs. The symbols.
The manual alone is glitch collage goldāmultilingual index typography, distorted schematics, almost asemic diagrams.
This isnāt just a tool. Itās future zine fodder. Elsewise tech. A black box of memory. ā
